This router uses the new generation UI and connected clients will show up in the connected clients list.

Yes I know.

It's simply a suggestion of improvement.
It would be nice to be able to modify a client's options even if it is not connected.
Example : my kid's tablet is not always connected to the wifi. I have assigned a static IP to the tablet. I would like to be able to modify the Parental Control option without the tablet having to be connected to the wifi. Because if it is not connected, it won't show up in the Connected Clients page, therefore I won't be able to modify its settings. On the dir-615 I could do that.

Ya, we have asked for this and it was implemented on the 890L. I'm hoping it will be for the 880L as well.

Thanks for the feed back.

Hi,
When a device is in Parental Control, it cannot access the wifi. Would that be possible to disable only the Internet access, and not the wifi. I have a NAS at home, and I would like to be able to access my videos for example, even if I have parental control enabled.

Perhaps an ignorant question, as this is the first router I've had that had any NAS or pseudo-NAS features, but is there a way configure the settings for USB devices, esp. an external HD and 128GB thumbdrive, so keep awake files are not written to them (to prevent sleeping I imagine). A toggle in the device's section (eg "allow drive to sleep") would be great, or am I overlooking that ability?
The HD being allowed to hibernate would actually be a good feature imo, and writing these keep awake files to a thumbdrive just seems a waste (not to mention shortening its life, as in the connection is actually warm from the writes if kept plugged in overnight with no access on my part at all.)
If the router supports DLNA for those devices, this seems a small thing to add.
Thanks.

Welcome!

The USB feature is mainly meant for Read and streaming features to devices and some accessibility. Depending on the USB drive Mfr and it's design, some drives may already have this however some routers may not allow for sleeping modes. Not sure if this router will get that feature or not. Your best option would be to get into full fleged NAS unit or maybe connect your USB drive to the network via a USB to LAN adapter.

I believe that when a device is in the PC, all access is denied.

Exact.
I would love to have more customization possibilities.

Mine only disables Internet access, I have an Emby server and all clients can access it even with Always Off turned on in Parental controls

As long as they still have their ip address it continues to work on the local Intranet, if they lose their ip address and then I manually add it back to each machine it works again....I have dhcp enabled

I would would rather it locked them out altogether because the parental controls in Emby fail to kick them out at the scheduled times so I have to manually disable each user in Emby

Can you guys install this version and post here of your experiences please?
